Mission...
He said to them ,"Go into all the world and preach the good news to all creation".
Mark 16:15
As a church community Eden is strongly committed to world mission.
We support a number of missionaries from the congregation who are
dotted across the globe in Central / South America, the former Eastern
bloc, Europe, Asia, the Middle East, and the Far East. They serve God
in many different ways: one is the president of a theological seminary,
others work as Bible translators, English teachers, and University
lecturers. All of them seek to work with the local church and reach
unbelievers with the Gospel.
We support them by praying, funding their work, and organising pastoral
visits. Copies of their prayer letters are available and various mission
magazines can be found in the concourse area of the Chapel. We encourage
individual correspondence between members of the fellowship and our missionaries.
Twice a year (in April and November) we have a Mission Sunday and that
helps us to keep our focus on reaching the world with the Gospel. We also
support students and others in short-term overseas projects.
